SoundEngine.comThe Soviet-era Altair 231 three oscillator synth with selectable waveforms for each . Low-pass filter with resonance and keyboard tracking. Portamento, indeed.
Imperfect, but not sure if it gets any fatter than this.
The Tom-1501 was a essentially a single manual keyboard organ circuit along with a filter. Interesting organ & string tones and a useful Harpsi-piano instrument.
Cheezy, a little noisy, & imperfect - in a good way.
The Elista drum module only generated 4 tones - Kick, Snare and 2 hats, but they were all good - very different from normal. 4 trigger ins & bundled with four pads.
Cheesy, imperfect, & a little noisy.
The Lell-UDS was an analog-based drum module that works with included drum triggers. Appears to be an addition to an acoustic kits, not a replacement. Tone and Noise controls for the 2 pads.
One of the 1st examples on integrated micros was the Mastro synth from the Soviet era. There were 20 recallable presets with Cutoff, Resonance & Chorus.
Interesting Pitch/Mod joystick maniptulated the Filter.
The Soviet-era Formanta combo organ with a two osc synthesizer - plenty of buttons & controls for the organ, the synth, and the built-in vinbrato and stereo phaser.
Cheesy, imperfect, and a little noisy.
The Soviet-era RITM-1 combo organ with a choice of tones - Organ, string, & bass sounds - plus click. Rhythms include Waltz, Swing, Rhumba, Saba, Bossa Nova, Foxtrot, & R&B.
Cheesy, imperfect, & a little noisy.
The Junost (or Unost) Soviet keytar. Aluminum case w/ leather strap. Effective in repelling the opposite sex. Considered by Brezhnev & Gorbachev as "not a very good synth."
Unique appearance, but not much more.
The Soviet-era Drum Synth with trigger pads - it still slams. Trigger to play live or the built-in beats. Rhythms include Rock, Rumba, Samba, Bossanova, Waltz,Swing, Disco & Tango.
Cheesy, imperfect, & a little noisy.
The Marsh drum module & pads was targeting the replacement of an acoustic kit - 4 pads & a kick trigger allowed electronic synthesis of drum sounds with tone and noise generators (ENVS) for each pad.
This one kicks.
